During the month of February 5th grade students at Carrcroft explored Op-Art using geometric shapes. Op- Art is an abstract art movement from the 1960's characterized by the use of geometric shapes and brilliant colors to create optical illusions. Op-Art uses art elements like line, shape, color, and space to create the illusion of movement. Below are two examples of Op-Art.

Mrs. Callahan & Mrs. Grasso's classes used their knowledge of line, shape, and color along with rulers, felt tip pens, and neon pastels to create their Op- Art works. Below are a few examples of this lesson.

Here you will find photos and information about our latest projects in the art room and out and about in the halls of Lancashire Elementary. In addition, I will post fun extra credit art projects that can be done at home and on long vacations.
